To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And with the infantry in the defense the problem is to minimize losses and to prevent demoraliza- tion from the enemy's big gun fire, so that when the advance of the attacking infantry reaches an acute stage, they may deliver a fire of such ac- curacy and volume, that the attackers will be shat- tered with losses and swept back. There are many modifications of this simple outline of the infantry in attack and in defense. Sometimes for example infantry meets infantry in head on collision, a renc...ontre as it is called. Both may attack, each commander believing that his mission calls for aggressiveness and that he has the necessary strength. Again the infantry frontal attack may be what has been called a hold- ing, or secondary attack, made for the purpose of deceiving the enemy and holding his attention while the main forces of the attacker envelop a Infantry 161 flank of the defenders and deliver the main attack against the flank. But it will be found that these and similar operations when the enemy is trained and resourceful, usually resolve themselves ulti- mately into the more or less conventional attack and defense above outlined.
